She has over 20 years experience in communications and her ultimate goal is to put the power back in the consumer's hand by making money management a breeze.

Biggest money motivation: "I'm a spending plan convert, so my biggest motivation is guilt free spending. This means paying the least amount necessary for essential expenses like our mortgage and utilities, and putting the maximum towards our fun money stash to use on holidays, nights out and gourmet ice-cream."

AJ Duncanson

AJ heads up Mozo's awards program, comprising both the Mozo Experts Choice and Mozo People's Choice Awards.

Outside of data crunching, Peter likes fast cars, hard philosophy, and simple adjectives.

Biggest money motivation: "It's often said that wealthy people got that way by being frugal with money - I may not be wealthy, but believe this is a good principle to live by. I love using my industry knowledge to find the best banking deals and let others in on where they are."

With a few money-saving strategies in place, I allow myself the financial freedom to live in the moment, while continuing to set myself up for the future. This is often easier said than done, but I'm definitely learning!"

Jack Dona

Coming from a communication and journalism background, Jack's goal is to cut through the jargon and give people the knowledge they need to make better informed financial decisions. 

Biggest money motivation: "It has to be financial security. Knowing that I have a safety net to fall back on in an emergency, or having the budget to travel once a year, takes the stress out of living. It's also nice to know that I can afford to buy quality, big-ticket items that actually last, when I need to."
